As Mark Levin calls him, the “Arlen Specter of South Carolina” is running his mouth against libertarians again. Associating them with anti-war liberals…oh wait, where have they gone? Anyhow, you might remember one of his previous attacks, in which he claimed libertarians have no place in the Republican party. Needless to say he got booed by the audience, and was subsequently smacked down by Governor | Read More »

This constant drip of stories about FreedomWorks is rather pathetic.So Dick Armey shows up with a gun toting security guard to launch a coup against FreedomWorks? OK.

Their districts have a plentiful supply of conservatives and tea partiers, and these conservative heroes of ours will be returning to the 113th Congress. Likewise, unfortunately, there are also liberal Republicans in safe GOP districts, and it will take primaries to send them to retirement. | Read More »

A Republican National Convention delegate has fought back against the ongoing “War on Women” mantra of the Left by inserting into her party’s platform language highlighting the absurdity of the entire idea. The platform also includes most of FreedomWorks activists’ main agenda. Sharee Langenstein of Illinois authored the amendment to the party’s platform: “Through Obamacare, the Obama Administration has promoted the notion of abortion as healthcare. We, | Read More »

I first heard Ted Cruz speak in Atlanta at the first RedState Gathering. As much as Marco Rubio or Nikki Haley, Cruz was impressive even then. I casually monitored his campaign for Attorney General and then Senator, marveling at his consistent ability to defend and articulate conservative ideas. America needs Mr. Cruz in the Senate, and the only question for me was how much of | Read More »

…Well, it looks like FreedomWorks agrees with my assessment that George LeMieux is no conservative.

In a viciously scathing email from Executive Director Max Pappas this morning, the FreedomWorks PAC endorsed Connie Mack and discussed LeMieux’s record in meticulous detail. They noted many of the same issues I did regarding his voting record and support from liberals and moderates, noting that “the more we looked at [Mack and LeMieux's] records, the clearer the choice became.”

FreedomWorks, billed as a national tea party organization, is set to announce it’s endorsement of Connie Mack IV for U.S. Senate in Florida later this morning. An email that will be sent out to it’s Florida members reads; “Democrat Bill Nelson is sitting on about $10,000,000, enough to attack and destroy his Republican challenger as soon as the Republican primary is held.
